Here at ToyVoyagers Central we are avidly watching the Olympics!

Here's a new challenge which is *kind of* Olympian in flavour. 

We will be re-creating the symbol of this great sporting event with our second random giving of gifts.

If you would like to join in, please read the instructions/ guidelines (given below) carefully.

1. You will be given a random name and address from the list of people who sign up for this 'game'.
2. You need to find the following items to send to the person whose name you receive:

* five ring or circular shaped items - each must be a different thing (so you can't send five round badges, for example) - this represents the Olympic symbol of five interlocking rings
* one item which represents a favourite sport or activity
* one shiny item/medal/trophy


3. Examples of round things - badges, patches, stickers, bracelets, oranges(!), biscuits(!!) - I feel sure there will be lots of original and exciting items sent!
4. If you do send sweeties/foodstuffs they must be in original wrappings, and please remember you cannot send food into Australia.
5. You might get ideas from a person's Profile - you will be given the name of the person you have to send to, so you can check out what they like.
6. Please don't send anything that you wouldn't like to receive yourself (the follwoing might not get a good response:  the inside of a toilet roll, a bottle top, an elastic band etc etc )
7. You must stick to the deadline dates for signing up and for sending - and you must not tell anyone who you're sending to - it's a surprise!
8. You must have been active on the site for at least a month to sign up - sorry to anyone newer than this - but you will get a chance next month with a different Random Challenge.
9.  If you sign up, get your random person, and don't send them anything, it's regrettable, but you won't be allowed to join in future challenges.

If you would like to join in, please add your name to the thread.

Deadline for signing up = 27th August (one week from today)
Deadline for sending items = 6th September

Kind regards
Isobel

It's a great idea. Let's see, if I find something - I know I have to, because you count me in, of course.

Question:

I have an object that is both rather shiny/metallic and representing one of my favourite sports. Can I do that instead of one of each, or can I do that and send six round things?
